I've tasked Slymodi with making them. If he doesn't I'm sure others will be able to.

And does Sly know about this?

Yep, Sly and I have talked about it several times on IRC. I wouldn't volunteer someone for a task if I hadn't already spoken with them. Sheesh, who do you think I am, a notorious bounty hunter or something?

Excellent, in that case I hope he's more dutiful in this than in posting his REKT turns

Possibly worth noting that this is emphatically NOT the same thing as Frontier completely dropping support for offline/solo play from Elite: Dangerous versus what they promised in their Kickstarter pitch.

That decision was also justified as being a hard choice regarding a difficult technical challenge. But where Braben & Co. just gave up, Josh hasn't. I won't be surprised to see LT running on Macs very shortly after v1.0 is released.

There are other differences too. This hasn't been done a few weeks before release despite any response to concerns regarding online play being met with "there will be an offline mode too".

I also don't believe that FD even tried to implement an offline mode, whereas I have full faith that Josh intended (and still intends) for an OSX release to happen, just that it will come later.

I hope that unlike the ED scenario, this is seen as a delay rather than an abandonment.
